MENA libtards: "Romans hated other Europeans, but loved civilized MENA people like us :^)"
Reality: Romans call MENAs effeminate, servile people "born to be slaves," Egyptians in particular ultra-cucked because they were "slaves to a woman." Romans even used "Syrian" as a slur.
Romans often used "Syrian" as synonym for general Near Easterner (as we use Arab today), as a slur it implied that the insulted person or peoples were effeminate natural-born slaves. They also used "Greekling" (generally referring to Asiatic Greeks) as a slur (see e.g. Cicero).
